Vice President Joe Biden, speaking on the campaign trail in Charlotte, N.C. today, offered an unvarnished assessment of the Obama economy:

First, he repeats the myth that Mitt Romney will “raise taxes” on the middle class— “raising their taxes with this tax cut,” as Joe so Bidenly puts it. Second, he says Romney can’t possibly justify that mythical tax hike because the Obama presidency has been so hard on the middle class.

The Romney campaign agrees and Jim Pethokoukis has the charts to prove it.

It’s not the first time Biden has eloquently described the toll the Obama economy has taken on working families:

Biden scores again. He keeps leaking (bits of) the truth. Must drive bHusseinO wild.

Many Democrat voters have been buried for many years.

So true!

But they're a determined lot, and haven't let a little inconvenience like that keep them from voting, and voting repeatedly...

Is that supposed to be an apology or is he bragging?

It has to be one or the other.

"Progressives" have become progressively adept at lying to themselves, so it is not a contradiction to them. He is saying that the middle class is buried because of capitalism, for which he has no responsibility, and he is bragging about what they have done in the last four years, which he thinks will bring about a better world, somehow, as long as he and the "progressives" are in charge.

Yes, it is magical thinking, but that is what they do. They are very good at selling "something for nothing".
